I started breaking glass in 2023 with no prior experience. I was looking for a creative outlet after the passing of my mother. I jumped in very quickly and before soon I was renovating my entire basement, changing my career, and glass took over my entire life. I now sell my work at Black Cat Bodega in Grand Rapids Michigan, and occasionally do markets in the area, and custom pieces.

When I am not in my basement listening to audiobooks making glass pieces, you can find me taking care of my many pets (introduced below) and taking endless photos.

Hello!

My Pets

Yzma and Lucy. Two sisters who always keep me company in the studio and make sure I am taking lots of breaks.

Gretchen, my mom found her as a 5 day old kitten at our family cabin and she found her place in our family.

Kronk, is a 14lb argentine red tegu. His favorite food is quail eggs and loves stomping around the house looking for the perfect sunny spot to bask in.
